Natural History Milkcap Mushroom on Duke’s Meadows 3 November 2019 Ian Alexander Well I’m sure it’s a Milkcap because you can see the milky drops on the gills of the specimen at bottom left. The cap is very pale and the stem tapered, so it looks like the Fleecy Milkcap, Lactarius vellereus. There is a little bit of fleeciness, indeed, on the cap at top right.
